Slimming World with Linda - British Legion, Tilehurst, Reading

As a Slimming World Consultant, do you know what lots of people have said to me over the last few weeks ? 🤔

“Linda I'm going to have a break because its getting abit busy now before Christmas and I will come back in January." 🚫😢

But, do you know what NO ONE has EVER said to me?

Linda, I am soooooo glad I took a break from Slimming World, I let the thought of Christmas stop me, took my foot off the peddle and now I’ve gained even more weight that I will have to lose" 😔.

The real sad thing is, this member probably won't even make it back in January as they feel they would have to lose THAT Xmas gain before they return😓

We have less than 9 days until Christmas 😱! Don't let yourselves get in a tizz about a few very special days. We've got this! 💪🎄🎅

There's absolutely TONS of support in EVERY Slimming World group to help you navigate the festive season!
And if you've yet to join you could beat the January rush and get ahead of the game!! 🥰

Give yourself those 45 mins a week to focus on YOU! 🥰 TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS x
See you for a fun group Thursday or Friday xx

😍😍proud consultant incoming! 🤩🤩
I would like to introduce Debbie who has lost nearly 5 1/2 stone in just over 1 year! These are her words.
"I'd like to say that the plan works if you follow it and you don't have to starve in the process! The lovely support offered from members staying to group really gives that extra incentive to keep going and a lot of laughter and friendships made too".

Debbie has been on a few holidays in this time and may have had a weight gain due to them but has changed her mindset meaning that she didn't have massive gains and got back on plan as soon as she was home. So proud of her! Doesn't she look great xx

Debbie comes to our Friday morning 9am group.
Tilehurst British Legion in Downing road. RG315BB

🎄 THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS OFF-PLAN 🎄
by your ever-proud Consultant (and fellow member!), Linda xx 🎄

🎄'Twas the run-up to Christmas, and all through the town,
Slimming World members were feeling quite down.
The mince pies had whispered, the Baileys had sung,
And the willpower wagon? Well… off it had flung.

🎄Some said, “I’ll restart in Jan, it’s too late for me,”
As they nibbled on stuffing and sipped festive tea.
But deep down inside, a small voice gave a shout:
“I miss my group — and my sparkle’s run out!”

🎄They scrolled past the posts, they ignored the old chat,
Feeling bloated and blue in their festive red hat.
But here comes a truth wrapped in tinsel and cheer:
Linda would be proud of you — now, next, and last year!

🎄She gets it, she’s human (and partial to cake),
She’s danced with temptation, made every mistake.
But she knows that your journey’s not ruined or gone,
It’s just paused for a moment — the sparkle lives on!

🎄So if you’ve gone quiet, or skipped a few weeks,
If your jeans feel rebellious and your confidence leaks…
Know this: you’re welcome, no judgement, no shame,
Just hugs, happy tears, and your Consultant proclaim:

🎄“Come back this week! Don't leave it too late,
I’ll be here with your mojo and a festive cheer”
Because Christmas is lovely, but YOU shine much more,
And your group is the sleigh that will help you restore.

🎄So unwrap your courage, and don’t overthink,
Your sparkle’s still there — it just needed a wink 😉.
And Linda ? She’s cheering, with glitter and glee,
Saying, “You’re amazing — because you came back to me!” 💖

🎄🎅Meet Diana one of my gorgeous target members. I am so proud! These are her words...
"Wasn't expecting this at weigh in today , I was delighted to receive this award again.

For those that don't know me , I started sw in May 2015 got to target in March 2016 after losing 2 1/2 stone.
I've managed to stay at target 🎯 for a long time , moved it up & down but I've never put on more than 8 lbs ( holiday weight ) always gone up a little , down & maintained .
Since September this year I wanted to get back down to the bottom of my range .
Week by week I've been losing weight , 2 maintains & more losses .
Now I'm 3 1/2 lb below my target, which means I'm in a comfortable position to enjoy the festivities not that I will over indulge as it's not my lifestyle now.
But very grateful to receive my award even though it's now twice received .

Thank you Linda for your support as always ❤️."

As a Consultant I am always thrilled to see my target members maintaining their weightloss. It's free for target members to come to group 🥰🎄
